Irish Craft Portfolio :: Update

The Crafts Council of Ireland is changing the Irish Craft Portfolio programme from a 1-year to a 2-year cycle.

This is being done to align better with makers' needs following a review of the programme including feedback from makers and to create more efficiency in CCoI's market development activities.

Makers who did not already apply in September 2011 for the new programme can do so now.

Closing date for new applications is Wednesday 18th January 2012 by 5pm.

*************************************************

The delivery dates for Irish Craft Portfolio are Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd January 2012.

The venue is The Annex, Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin 2.
This is right beside the National Concert Hall (where Dublin Contemporary was located).

The collection date is Friday 27th January.

Delivery and collection times are from 9am-5pm.

The entrance is on the far right-hand side of the National Concert Hall (as you are facing it, with the Conrad Hotel behind you).

*************************************************

The new book, Irish Craft Portfolio will be now published in Autumn 2012. The next book will be published in Autumn 2014.

Irish Craft Portfolio was established in 2005 by the Crafts Council of Ireland to promote the work of individuals showing excellence in craftsmanship at an international level.

It has been used as a resource for Irish and International curators in accessing the work of Irish makers for exhibition. It is increasingly used by private and state collectors to guide their collecting of contemporary Irish craft.

For 2012-2013, the Crafts Council of Ireland aims to further enhance the opportunities available to all craftspeople, including those in the Irish Craft Portfolio initiative. These opportunities will include increased promotion and exhibition of selected work both in Ireland and abroad.
